Not so. Ayr and some of the Ayrshire and Inverclyde services are among the few that have been running throughout the strike. See Scotrail website for more details.

I think the Inter7city branding shown in the link below is what the poster was referring to, which I think is relatively new (certainly don't recall seeing it when I last passed through a few weeks ago). https://twitter.com/AlexHynes/status/1407726670891606019/photo/1

All of these schemes (and loads more) are in a long list of schemes to be appraised as part of the Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR)2. The appraisal will whittle down the long list to a much shorter list of schemes that best meet the STPR2 objectives. The entire long list can be found...

A 'Permitted Development Notification' notice has been submitted to City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) by Network Rail for the 'Formation of Temporary Compound' at Turnhouse Road. The documents can be viewed in the link below but they state that...

There are press reports of a feasibility study into options for the station being published https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/ayrshire/new-ayr-train-station-could-23518154. Hopefully the report will appear online somewhere soon.

This would be number one in my 'fantasy list of Scottish rail projects if money was no object', given the improvements in journey times it would bring between Edinburgh <> Kirkcaldy and eastern Fife/Perth/Dundee/Inverness/Aberdeen. Unfortunately money is a very real object but it's interesting...

I noticed a difference on the Falkirk High route - there are currently 15 minutes between successive services in the weekday morning and evening peaks and 30 minutes during the rest of the day. From the timetable change, the service reduces to every 30 minutes all day.

Would there be any possibility of some end-to-end E-G demand being catered for by a fast(ish) service routeing to and from Central via Shotts? I appreciate it couldn't be as quick a journey as via Falkirk High, but with the growth of employment around Central (e.g.Barclays on the southern side...

I noticed a door issue with a 385 at Haymarket today (the 1015 from Waverley). As per normal, the doors opened to allow passengers to board and alight. However, some doors didn't open if there was no passenger wishing to board or alight through them (presumably also as per normal) but then the...
